The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration awarded the Puerto Rico Ports Authority $27.138 million on February 19, 2026, under the National Infrastructure Investments program (CFDA 20.933) to rehabilitate Wharf C at the Port of San Juan, Puerto Rico, with performance ending July 31, 2031.

The award funds two components: program construction management—including permitting support, quality control, safety management, and project phasing—and design-build services. Design-build work includes rehabilitation of approximately 600 linear feet of the existing wharf with demolition of the existing concrete platform and substructure as needed, with the new wharf designed to accommodate operational cargo loads of up to 600 PSF. The rehabilitated wharf will include utilities, fire suppression system, mooring hardware, and new fenders. Landside improvements span rehabilitation of up to approximately 350,000 square feet of existing paved area across Wharf C accessible portions, Wharf D cargo patio, and adjacent employee parking, along with installation of new post and fence fabric for preferential and tenant cargo areas. The award also funds replacement of concrete platform, LED lighting systems with three high mast poles, underground electrical rehabilitation, fire protection system rehabilitation, storm sewer system construction with removal of old sewer lines, and water distribution system rehabilitation. Expected outcomes are measured by total tons of cargo moved per year in TEUs or short tons.

Work is performed in San Juan, Puerto Rico (1077 Ashford Ave, 00907). The Puerto Rico Ports Authority, a non-profit Puerto Rico government entity operating through its Federal Funds Management Office Division, is the recipient.
